Lightning Is the Only Way

Gravis moved to the next Law Comprehension Area, but before he could get there, he was intercepted by a message.

"I comprehended the level five Law of Lightning's Supreme Speed," Mortis sent him.

Gravis was pleasantly surprised. "Oh right, it has already been a couple of years since we last talked. Nice."

"Have you comprehended something of relevance during this time?" Mortis asked.

Gravis chuckled a bit. "I learned a few Laws," he said.

Then, Gravis told Mortis about all the Laws that he had comprehended.

"The Law of the Living World, huh?" Mortis asked. His voice sounded thoughtful like he was trying to taste the words. "Then, we truly need to comprehend the Law of Sentience before we can fight Arc in the future. Otherwise, from what you've told me, we would be helpless in front of him."

Gravis nodded. "I agree. I'm not sure what power the Law of Sentience has, but it has to have the ability to resist the Law of the Living World since it's on the same level, and it might even be more powerful. After all, the Law of Perceived Reality is a level five Law, while the Law of the Dead World is only a level four Law. Additionally, the Law of Perceived Reality should be by far the hardest to comprehend under normal circumstances."

Mortis also nodded. However, his brows furrowed quickly. "However, there is an issue with the Body Battle Laws you have comprehended."

Gravis already knew the Law, which meant that he knew exactly what Mortis was referring to.

"You can't use them, right?" Gravis asked.

"Correct," Mortis answered. "In order to fuse the Body Battle Laws into a body, one needs a body made up of a force that can easily mix with other things. My body is made of Divine Lightning, which makes it impossible for me to fuse the forces together in such a way."

"Advantages and disadvantages, eh?" Gravis commented. "You can split your body apart, and your body can't be dissolved with the level five Law of Body Composition. However, you can't use some of the Laws of the body because of that. I guess it might actually be better that I have my Void Lightning."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Mortis answered. "After all, I don't have to convert my Energy into Divine Lightning first, which means that I don't lose anything due to the conversion. My storage of Divine Lightning is many times larger than yours. I'm fine with what I currently have."

Gravis nodded again. "You can see it like that. To each their own," Gravis said. "So, what's next on the agenda?"

"More level five Lightning Battle Laws," Mortis answered. "I still want three more level five Battle Laws for Lightning. With all of them combined, I should have the ability to push my Divine Lightning close to the power of a level seven Law. By using these Laws with a Lightning Crescent, I should be able to unleash an attack a little bit more powerful than a level seven Law."

"At that point, even if I fight someone that has a level six Law as their Avatar, I wouldn't be on a disadvantage."

"Alright," Gravis answered. "I will finish the Major Law of Defense first. After that, I will look at the level five Laws. From what I can see, these Laws work similarly to the Law of Temperature. I think that the three Major Laws of Strength, Defense, and Speed will fuse together into one Law."

Mortis furrowed his brows as he thought about Gravis' words for a few seconds. Mortis also knew the Law, and he was in no way less intelligent than Gravis, which meant that he also quickly found the answer.
